Today i stand with. Putin is trending on twitter during the russia ukraine crisis. Now it's entirely likely that this is trending as an army of russian bots make the hashtag trend, but it's also possible that this video of putin seeking sympathy for his atrocity in ukraine is gaining popularity. Putin's argument is that it's time for western countries in the united states to put themselves in the shoes of putin and russia.

What if russia decided to put missiles on the border of canada and the u.s or the border of mexico and the u.s? Would the u.s not respond? This initially sounds like an extreme comparison as putin decries the expansion of nato eastward towards russia, but nato does include countries like latvia, estonia and lithuania, and now, potentially even finland, which are right on the border of russia, to which biden of course says the united states And our allies will defend every inch of territory, that is nato territory for the full force of our collective power. But does this merit the death and destruction putin is causing in ukraine likely? Not? In fact, it's likely to strengthen nato.
